Could we trade Pierre to the Lions?

SloMotion · 08-29-2012, 08:01 PM

I have often pondered this very same question ... why aren't the Lions talking with the Saints about some of their surplus running talent? The biggest reason I think is that Detroit does not feel they need that potent of a running attack to win games and are content to keep relying on Kevin "can't play two consecutive games without getting hurt" Smith, Jhavid "had my bell rung one too many times" Best, Mikel "been in the league two years & have yet to play a down in a regular season game yet" Leshoure ... their backfield is a total mess once again this season. I would have liked to see them trade DE Cliff Avril for a running back of PT's level, but who am I?

From a Saints perspective, I wouldn't trade PT ... Ivory or Cadet maybe, but not PT.

Dang! Your team has some of the longest nicknames I've ever seen. They should get guys with names like "Tank" or "Moose".

The Vikes seem have improved their backfield quite a lot based on the preseason games, but, on the other hand, their run defense have left a lot to be desired for, so I do think the Lions should at least try to have some type of an effective run offense if they plan on winning the NFC North.
